Minutes from the latest ECB meeting have just been released, however did not cause any major moves on the market as discussions took place 3 weeks ago, followed by the publication of a number of important economic data, therefore views included in the documents are somewhat outdated.
Here are key takeaways from the document:-

The underlying situation is not very different from December.

Reservations were expressed on the proposed communication of an intention for the March meeting.
